Restricted blood flow..

Well lets see where to begin lol.. I am 20 weeks and have restricted blood flow thru both the left and right side of the placenta. I had the same problem with my son as well except it was only on the right and had cleared up by now. This problem makes me high risk for pre term labor. What my question is, Is how many of you moms had the same problem and if you made it full term or delivered a preemie?? Thanks for looking any advice is appreciated.

I was diagnosed with severe preeclampsia at 33 weeks and had to deliver that night. My DD weighed 2 lbs 15oz, well below the 4 lb average. My OB said low birth weight was not uncommon due to the blood restriction.
